Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — 18 down in 5 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale 14:23
- still_here_2024 — while im here my knees stopped hurting around 12 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage 14:34
- VialBot — Reminder for still_here_2024: dose day is today. Set 4 days ago. 16:08
- still_here_2024 — i was down 6 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, we shall see my knees stopped hurting around… 16:27
careful with the claiming though, mine could easily be the weight rather than the drug and i cannot separate the two
half a stone in 12 weeks sounds slow written down and felt enormous while it was happening
how do you celebrate this without it being about food
youre allowed to be pleased
i celebrated by buying a coat that fits. deliberately not food, which took some thinking about
📈3
down 94 and the scale hasnt moved in a fortnight, do i still get to call it a win

unrelated but does the room want the numbers or just the story
👍2
i stopped weighing daily at about month six and my mood improved more than my numbers did
18 down in 5 months and honestly the stairs were the bit that got me, not the scale

the ring fitting again was worth more to me than any number on the scale ever was
while im here my knees stopped hurting around 12 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage

anyone else find the compliments harder to handle than the weight itself
is it bad form to say i havent had a single side effect
somebody talked me out of quitting at week three and i never said thank you properly
went from stopping halfway up the stairs to carrying shopping up them without noticing, and that is the whole win
does anyone have a milestone they were embarrassed to admit mattered
coming back after 11 months to say i kept it off, is that useful to anybody
thats not showing off

resting heart rate went from 82 to 64 over a year. the weight, the walking, or both, i genuinely do not know
cpap pressure got turned down last week, has that happened for anyone
i was down 6 at month six and then nothing at all for eleven weeks. it moved again. the eleven weeks were not a failure, we shall see
my knees stopped hurting around 24 down and i had assumed that was permanent damage
brilliant a1c
somebody thanked me a year later for a two line message i do not remember writing and it has stayed with me
down 36 since 25 months ago, whats a sensible thing to celebrate at
the stairs thing yeah
